Good Grief. This particular version garnered nothing but bad reviews. Personally, I don't see why it was SO hated - and films like the Austin Powers movies are LOVED...beats me.
First of all, I give it nine out of ten points for the mere PRESENCE of Gary Oldman - who, looking EXTREMELY beautiful, tried so hard to give the movie some credibility, with his excellent performance as the Reverend Dimmsdale.
One other point for Demi Moore - who is a really wonderful actress, and tried her best, TOO.
I fail to see why this picture got SUCH bad reviews. Okay, so they DIDN'T follow the book..many movies do NOT - and don't get panned like this one. WHY?
